Yeah, probably a good idea just to be safe since it's so easy to do.  They should have used a big O-ring like the one you used on the block side of the adapter.  Put water back in and turned on the pump.  No leaking.  The pump sure moves a lot of water.     Thanks again, Jay.  :)

Just finished the CVR pump adapters for the SOHC.  I just did the ones with the alternator mount, because that's what I'm going to be using on my SOHCs.  These will be a little less expensive than the standard FE adapters, because there is less aluminum and less machining required.  Unfortunately, because of the way the SOHC timing cover is designed, its not possible to set these up to use O-rings for sealing; normal gaskets will be required.  My friend Kevin was over looking at them yesterday, and he pointed out that for the SOHC, this setup will probably be cheaper than the stock SOHC water pump setup LOL!  That's a switch.  I'm looking forward to trying these out on my 577" SOHC when I get it back on the dyno in the next month or so...
